Was just playing Corruption and it got me hyped for a new Metroid game from Retro. I want to see what they'd do with HD hardware. I love the Prime games.

Why must Nintendo pre-E3 threads always be filled with unfulfilled day dreams? That said here's hoping for a fully fledged Pokemon RPg

I can't wait for a third party to reveal that they're releasing a port of (major HD title) for Cafe, and the first screenshots of it look like downgrades.

Keep in mind they had a teaser for Prime 2 the E3 after Prime was released. It's always possible they could do the same. Let's hope at least. Of course, I would LOVE anything from Retro but man, I really want Metroid on a new console.Caramello said:

Was it intentional on your part that all the third-party titles here would be arriving months after their PS3 and 360 counterparts, and would be all but guaranteed to flop as a result?

I can't wait for the entire conference to come and go and then at the end they reveal that they've decided not to show everything yet, so there's a name, logo, and render of the console, with details on the controller and any games for it "coming soon."

The wii gets a lot of flack for not having a good online system, and the lack of trophies is frequently cited as a problem. But imagine if Nintendo found a way to completely get rid of trophies, and have something even better in their place.
I would imagine people like trophies for two reasons. They symbolize an achievement, and they allow you to compare how you and your friends are doing in particular games. Well, Nintendo has stated that they don't like the idea of an icon popping up in the middle of a game, breaking immersion, and there are other ways of symbolizing success in-game, like with save data, racing and match rankings, and item collections. Gamers do not really need the extra trophy telling them they've done something when they already have that sense of accomplishment by simply playing the game. So I believe Nintendo thinks they have this item covered.
As for the second, what if Nintendo has come up with something completely new? For example, take the wii/3ds channels. Imagine, instead of YOUR games in those windows, you saw your friends' games. Click on a window, and you can watch your friend, in real-time, race in Mario Kart or fighting a boss in the next Zelda game. Maybe it has a picture or video of their face in the corner, streamed from the camera on the front of the controller. It could have a list of accomplishments and stats specific to that game. What if you could just click on the image and jump right into the game with them? You could take over a character in Mario Kart, challenge a Street Fighter character arcade-style, or have a Mario Galaxy-style pointer that could help them stun enemies or get hard-to-reach coins. This could be an intuitive and unique way of keeping track of your friends' progress without having trophies.
I'm not expecting something like this on Tuesday, but I would love it if Nintendo or another company in the future implemented something similar. I'm also sort of expecting that Nintendo has thought about what purposes trophies serve, and has implemented a solution that feels more like Nintendo. Unless they caved to the developers when they said they wanted to do ports and kept things simple...

I completely agree with you, but I've heard a ton of complaints lately that people won't want to switch to a third system because they already have all kinds of trophies and stuff on their 360/ps3.InsaneZero said:

You'll probably be able to buy a special SE branded 32GB SDXC card for it. PS2 and 360 didn't have 20gigs+ of HD space when they got FFXI either.demosthenes said:

I think we'll get a picture of the controller and console monday. I know it's a bit much, but it would be a great way to steal thunder from sony and MS.... also, they have games to show on Tuesday, so they won't really be blowing their wad by showing some pictures.

Achievements are used by publishers to advertise their games. Third parties won't be happy if Nintendo misses out on them again.
Here's a pretty neat Youtube Poop on the upcoming Cafe annoucement:
